About this map

The Tallapoosa River meanders through this landscape on the border of Randolph, Chambers, and Tallapoosa counties, characterized by dramatic river bends such as Muleshoe Bend. The settlement of Wadley sits near the northern edge, while smaller communities like Frog Eye, Abanda, and Daviston are scattered across the surrounding terrain. This survey provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous burial grounds including the Bibby Family Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Beulah Cem.

The area's agricultural and industrial history is visible through features like Hodnett Mill Cr and the presence of scattered rural schools and churches. Waterways such as High Pine Creek and Chikasanoxee Cr feed into the river system, defining the drainage patterns that shaped the placement of local roads and early homesteads. From the older settlement of Louina to the crossroads at Bosworth, the map traces the enduring social fabric of these East Alabama communities.
